They were issued I think to commemorate 150 years of Trustte Savings Banks, the first such bank being acknowledge as Rev. Henry Duncan`s in Ruthwell, Scotland, although I believe there is a case for the claims of an earlier bank in Edinburgh(?) which did however have a slightly different modus operandi and rules. Duncan`s model was perhaps nearer to the way the banks that followed were set up. The little medals/coins were neither silver or gold colour, but something between the two, sort of dull brass as I recall Not sure if I can lay my hands on the medal, which from memory was about the size of a florin (2/- piece).

I joined the Liverpool Savings Bank from school in 1953, and spent over 37 years in the TSB, latterly Lloyds TSB of course. I would think that the souvenir would be worth a few pounds to a banking ephemera collector. I have a recollection that they were issued in their thousands though to everyone who made a deposit in an account during the special week, being regarded more as a sort of medal than a coin.

On the reverse side of the coin is the face of Dr Henry Duncan, apparently the father of Savings Banks. Does anyone know if it is of any value? I mentioned this coin to my present Bank Manger of the TSB and he could not recall it. I have a coin bearing the name of The Trustee Savings Bank commemorating The Trustee Savings Bank Week 1960.
